Might get a custom Titanium one built so I can get the right pounds of pressure per square inch - reliability for sure - that's what it's all about right - I wish I still had warranty tho too that would make it soooo good

Everyone on here seems to think I'm stupid - because I have no big diplomas - I need some of these smart people that think I'm so stupid to help me out with what lb spring should I put in my wastegate? Or my buddy's silber 850 doo - I just want stock HP - is zero lb spring the answer? I dunno - ask the wicked smart people in this thread that have said I'm wrong and dumb and won't let it go - do they make a zero lb spring for a wastegate?Who needs warranty when you got shellbourne ! haha Jk whats the answer you were looking for? 0lbs spring for stock horse power?
Learn us some stuff please

No spring - wouldn't work because the wastegate would just fall open - especially on my kit - my wastegate is on the bottom of the expansion chamber - I need a spring - or maybe those wicked smart people that think I'm dumb think I need Electronic boost control to maintain stock HP? I dunno
Maybe a 1 pound spring then. I thought you liked running 20lbs boost anyways? If you want stock horse power, Id say get a stock sled.

A stock sled is no good - there's only one stock sled that can maintain hp - I'm not paying $20,000 for one - I've already got a Doo with a turbo - I just need to make this one that I got maintain the stock HP all the way to 8000ft - I'm hoping one of the champs from up
above that were giving me a hard time - chime in here and educate me on what size spring I should run in my wastegate - I've only run 12lbs not 20 - let's not blow it out of proportion - that's my wife's job

So you figure the one pound spring isnt going to work then?

So is that what the stock 850 Doo turbo is pushing? 1lb all the time to maintain stock HP - 1lb boost all the way from sea level to 800ft?
It add 0-4lbs pressure depending on altitude. Thats not boost in your world though. we know you told us 50 ****ing times, you must think we are dumb

At what pressure does vacuum start? Above zero to 4lbs is considered boost for sure - in my world that is actual as F*k actual boost - but everyone thinks I'm dumb and think I need a bunch courses in absolute manifold pressure and boost and pressure and the difference between gauge readings and barometric pressure etc etc etc apparentlyIt add 0-4lbs pressure depending on altitude. Thats not boost in your world though. we know you told us 50 ****ing times, you must think we are dumb

I live in a small town in Alberta Canada with an altitude of 2015ft above sea level - with an atmospheric pressure of 13.66psi - sea level is 14.7psi - I have an electronic boost gauge - the koso x2 - if I power on the gauge without the motor running it reads negative 0.5 - because my altitude pressure is just shy 1lb - it only reads in point 5's - so I guess that would mean at my house I'm at almost a lb of vacuum - no? Has anything I said above a false statement?
